I\u2019m pretty much representative of first borns: reliable, conscientious, structured, achiever. #1 is my mini me and I can just say ditto to the above. #2 is fairness obsessed, the peacemaker but with her own rebellious streak. She was a middle child, even before she was a middle child. So far baby has also proven to be the most-easy going- but is it because of his nature or because of my temperament and attitude gained from experience (and also lets be honest here- exhaustion and convenience). Here are some differences between this baby and the girls.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Activities: Life doesn\u2019t stop since having a baby. With two older sisters this guy has had to attend his share of birthday parties, work related coffees\/lunches, and countless family gatherings. I used to dread going out with baby in tow, but he\u2019s so easy. I just pop him in the carrier and usually don\u2019t have to worry about him at all as long as he\u2019s fed !<\/li>\n<li>Eating: Breastfeeding with this guy has been the easiest so far. Which is funny because he is the hungriest and biggest of all ( weighing in at 13.5 lbs at his dr appt today). Although I have been open to supplementing as needed with formula or when I\u2019m not around, he is primary breastfed just like the girls were at this age.<\/li>\n<li>Diapers: not sure if this is a gender thing, but both girls hated a dirty diaper. With #3, I don\u2019t even know if he has dirty diaper because it\u2019s typically not a cause for him to cry.<\/li>\n<li>Sleep: With the girls, I obsessed with trying to establish a sleep schedule and getting them to sleep through the night. I am pretty sure we didn\u2019t get our first real full night\u2019s rest until #2 was 2.5 YEARS old. That means we pretty much went 4 years without good sleep. Baby has been \u201csleeping through the night\u201d since 3 weeks ( KNOCK ON WOOD). He is a great sleeper and napper- probably because of all the activity mentioned above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What I\u2019ve learned from this baby is that you can prepare and overthink it all, but every baby is different. It\u2019s some nature and some nurture, but I believe having an open mind and being adaptable are key in parenting.<\/p>\n<p>Positive Thought of the Day: A healthy and happy baby who sleeps from 9 until 5am almost every night!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 44: I\u2019ve always been intrigued with birth order and have been thinking a lot about the dynamics and differences in my three kids.
